Man On Fire (Angel of Sadness)

He brings the music of death 
The music that’s take our final breath 
I’d rather come in and play on my cold feet 
Than warm up to be old heat 
If I were to die on this day 
What would you speak of at my funeral? 
What would you say? 
How would you sooth the mourners 
Of a forgotten general 
He was a man on fire 
For his lord, your savior 
Wouldn’t take his soul any higher 
So he remains a man on fire 
We make mistakes, because we know we can 
And chances are we’ll be forgiven for them 
An eye for an eye, I’m awaiting a heart break 
As for now 
I’m a casualty living for your sins 
Every man coming for my head 
Prophets already censoring me dead 
I bring the music of death 
The music that’s gonna take your final breath 
I mostly refer to myself as a child 
I don’t know why 
Perhaps I feel immortal 
As if I couldn’t die 
But now I’m just a man on fire 
For my lord, your savior 
Will not take this soul any higher 
Now I’m a man on fire
